heretic Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 it's all easy shit man. slow & steady wins the race. & cleanliness IS another key, I mean eat off of it clean. I like my final washing with simple green, because it works great & doesn't harm aluminum. I have no doubt you'll be fine. gotta admit, im a bit nervous, this is my first time doing rings and bearings myself. Ive watched a dozen or so youtube vids of how its done in prep but execution has me with butterfly's in my gut Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Sorry man, was out of town with no ratsun.... I think everyone covered it though :)Yup :) I bought another steering box arm off of Taadj and picked up a new idler arm and center link from rock auto so I'm just trying find a local show to weld em up and re-taper without trying rape me on the price -.- Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Finally cleaned off the freeze plugs :). I coated them in grease before paint so they would look fresh. I've always been fond of the contrast I happy with how it's come out so far :) Next step? Power coating!!! So off to jrock's shop! I dropped off the water pump pulley, crank pulley, oil pan, both timing covers, and a set of grill trim rings Nice sunset on the way back Made it home and popped my dads mustang on stands to check out the brakes........ Hmmmm It needs pads n rotors... But before I can do that I have to replace the hard lines PO took vice grips too :/ http://s1356.photobucket.com/user/Eagle_Adam/media/79%20KC%20DD%20-%203rd%20times%20the%20charm/8B2C6F49-E5F5-4929-A0F8-F16FE6E0A7E0_zps3cynn8hj.jpg.html] One reservoir resembles chocolate milk, the other is low with the strangest feeling brake fluid I've seen. So it will get new rotors, pads, wheel bearings, a full flush, the rear drums cleaned and adjusted . 1 Quote Link to comment
